The Championship side insists they have no intention of selling the defender despite interest from Arsenal, West Ham and Southampton.
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ manager Kenny Jacketts has insisted defender Dominic Iorfa will not be sold by the club.
The 20-year-old who is a key member of England U21 squad has enjoyed a promising season in the Sky Bet Championship with 40 league appearances.
Crystal Palace, Arsenal, West Ham and Southampton re reportedly interested in the central defender ahead next season.
However, Jacketts insisted Wolves will not be letting Iorfa go anywhere.
“I personally wouldn’t want to see him go,” he told club website.
“I think we need players in to improve us, rather than letting players go. I’m sure everybody at Wolves feels the same way as I do.
“We haven’t had any bids and like everyone at Wolves we want to improve the team, and build the team around Dominic, rather than replacing him.
“Whenever you have players doing well, there’s always that type of speculation.
“I’ll be as determined as everybody at Wolves – we want to improve the team. Selling Dominic, we don’t think will help us.”
He added: “It’s difficult in football to predict exactly what’s happening and once you get into the realms of very, very big bids, it would be wrong to say it can’t happen, because we’ve seen it happen many times.
“It wouldn’t be my choice and for everyone at Wolves it is about wanting to build a team around Dominic.
“It has been very interesting over two of the last three games for him to play in the centre back position.
“Having had two years on the ball at right back will have helped him in that position and he can bring the ball out,” he concluded.
Iorfa who could feature for Nigeria at the 2016 Olympics recently signed a new long-term contract at Wolves last November, securing his future until the summer of 2019.
